Fischer Beaten at Chess
Buenos Aires (Reuter) — Soviet grandmaster Tigran Petrosian beat Bobby Fischer of the U.S. Tuesday night, evening the score at 1-1 in their 12-game world chess title semi-finals match.
The Armenian's serenity helped him to cope with Fischer's constantly dangerous manoevres, and finally forced the 28-year-old American grandmaster to resign at move 32.
It was Fischer's first defeat in 21 games against international grandmasters. He won the previous 20 games in a row.
